Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes (including BD OptiBuild Brilliant reagents) are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
Product Notices
- This antibody was developed for use in flow cytometry.
- The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

CD244 (also known as 2B4 Antigen) is a member of the CD2 subset of the immunoglobulin superfamily (CD2 IgSF). It is expressed on all natural killer (NK) cells, IL-2–activated NK cells (LAK), and a subset of T lymphocytes which mediate non-MHC–restricted cytotoxicity. The C9.1 antibody specifically recognizes CD244.1, the 2B4 alloantigen which is expressed by certain cells in most strains tested (A/J, AKR/N, BALB/c, CBA/N, C3H/He, DBA/1, DBA/2, NZB/N, SJL/J, 129/Svj), but not by cells from C57BL/6 or C58/J mice. The expression of the CD244.1 alloantigen on B lymphocytes that was originally described, has not been confirmed in later studies. The extracellular domain of CD244 is a ligand for another CD2 IgSF member, CD48.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV711 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 711-nm. BD Horizon BV711 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™5.5 / Alexa Fluor® 700-like dyes (eg, 712/20-nm filter). Due to the excitation and emission characteristics of the acceptor dye, there may be moderate spillover into the Alexa Fluor® 700 and PerCP-Cy5.5 detectors. However, the spillover can be corrected through compensation as with any other dye combination.
